Install Redis

Redis is a key-value database, which describes itself as “an open
source, BSD licensed, advanced key-value cache and store”. Sensu uses Redis for
storing persistent data. Two Sensu services, the server and API, require access
to the same instance of Redis to function. Although it is possible to install
and run Redis on almost any modern operating system, all Sensu users are
encouraged to install and run Redis on one of the following supported
platforms:

Amazon Web Services ElastiCache with Redis 2.8.x may be used to
provide Redis service for Sensu. See Amazon’s
Getting Started with Amazon ElastiCache guide for details on
provisioning ElastiCache in AWS. Once provisioned in AWS, Sensu can be
configured to use the ElastiCache endpoint address and port.
